Sweet Potato, Coconut and Ginger Soup

This is a creamy, sweet and spicy soup. It is very easy to make too. I loved the flavours of this soup and it was much better than I had expected, which is always nice. It tastes as if lots of effort, heart and soul went into it, rather than the reality of throwing ingredients into a pot and thinking “meh, a soup”.

I have started eating a savoury muffin with my soup in replace of bread roll. It is lovely and more filling! Let alone lower in carbs! Huzzah!
